THE APPROACHING BOOM

There is no denying the fact that
Texas has suffered serious calami'ies
within the past five years, which have
in measure iinpeded her progress s.
some of which, rs for instance the
droutb in the west. would have com
plctely parslyzcd the industries ana
blunted the energies OF any country
less iavorably endowed In point OF
variety OF interests and resources.
But this latter fact has furnished
measurably compensation for all her
misiorlunes, and the work of dcvel-
opmcnt and the march Of progress,
though in,pcded, has never suspend
cd, and the confidence OF the people
has never wavered Now the reward
in substantial form for all this pluck
and perseverance is clearly at hand.
The crops of the past season, both III
the cereals and the ieccy staple.
have surpassed the most sanguine eX'
pectaiions of the people, while even
in the drouth-stricken West the for
ests are yielding compensation in al
enormous and almost unprecedented
pecan crop. The continued rains III
that section have watered mother
earth to depth not known for years.
and reports show the sowing OF vast
areas OF wheat and preparations for
farming on scale hitherto unknown
while the plains are laden with lux
uriant grasses and the flocks and nerds
are rolling in fairness In all human
probability, this long drouth, thus
happily terminated, is guarantee
against another such experience Tor
wears, and the people show by their
activity and enterprise that they SO
regard it. The signs OF the times are
unmistakable in Texas, and they
point to universal, all-pervading
boom. which shall extend from inc
Panhandle to the Gulf and permeate
all classes, all avocations and all inter-
csts. Already the impetus is felt III
the establishing Of manufactures, Inc
opening OF mines, the continued ex-
tension of railroads and the widening
of old aud opening of new agricul-
tural districts. Hencciorth the pros
perity of Texas is not to be confined
TO localities or classes or special
branches of trade or industry, but 1t
is 10 be shared by all. felt by all and
appreciated by all, and, barring provi'
dental hiudrance, all the world can't
check the onward march of the Lone
Star State to its destined greatness
and grandeur and glory.

Sadness and glsdncss e'er
Are jewellers side by side.

And the wreathlng Of bride.
Bright eyes are filed with mirth,

And hearts beside the CHEEKY hearth
Are crushed by stout despair!
All, sorrow and lov and hope
Are parted nv thinnest wall,
And only on hearts which never ope,

No hope that joy will down again,
